Bridget has helped Applewood Our House since the first remodel and opening in 2010. Her favorite foods are shredded beef and beef burritos smothered in green chili, but not just any chili , and of course, pizza! Bridget has four college and high school aged kids and says “Sadly, I don’t have time for hobbies. All I do is work, work, work, work,work (insert Rihanna song here). When I did have time in my previous life, I sang in a band, liked to read and sew and watch movies.”
